Start with the work

Match database experience to your application

Start with the workload

Share the schema, query patterns, data volume and application constraints. A reporting workload and a transactional product have different needs. We build the shortlist around the database responsibilities the person will own.

Investigate before choosing a fix

Slow queries can involve query structure, indexes, statistics or the surrounding application. Review candidates’ use of execution plans and representative measurements. Define a baseline and acceptance criteria instead of promising a fixed performance gain.

Include safe changes and recovery

Discuss migrations, backups, restore testing, replication and access controls when they belong to the role. Ask how candidates validate a change and recover from failure. Confirm who owns application changes and operational support.
